Will customized competition equipment have a role in current and future culinary competitions? We have been working with chefs,culinary competition teams and hotels to come-up with unique (radical) food presentation systems and food preparation tools like custom-designed molds in various materials. While the customization approach is definitely for a severely limited number of chef-competitors, are there restrictions in the Iron Chef event. Thanks a lot. Greetings from the Philippines!

I can't wait to see it. I saw my favorite Kelly (Ned) in the VIP section. & I'm passing your link on to some friends who love the Free Lance Cafe, Xavier's & Restaurant X. & Alton Brown is lots of fun. Did you catch his motorcycle trip across the country stopping at lots of local food joints??? Hi Liz,

I am jealous too. I lived in Japan for three years and Iron Chef was one of my favorite shows. I didn't know what they were saying but I found the show surprisingly exciting. Occasionally when my wife and I are sitting around craving sweets and we have nothing in the cupboard worth eating. We play a 30 minute version of Iron Chef to see who can make the best desert with whatever we can find at home. I always lose but we always have fun. Perhaps we should consider getting a fog machine for our next battle. Hello Liz,

Although I watch the American version, the original had more flare. The dubbing and the exotic secret ingredients made for great entertainment. All in all, I am jealous. I TOTALLY aree with the Aton Brown assessment! Liz,

This way, they know what to bring to accompany the ingredient and can practice a more limited repertoire of dishes. The same went for the original Iron Chef shows.

They make it seem as if the chefs don't know what the "magic ingredient" is until show time, but I don't really see how they can plan a menu without that knowledge. And for the record, it's the geeks who make the best spouses! I was always curious to know how much preparation is done beforehand.
